Ecclesiastes 1:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 Words cannot fully explain things,[a] but people continue speaking.[b] Words come again and again to our ears, but our ears don’t become full. And our eyes don’t become full of what we see.
Nothing Is New
9 All things continue the way they have been since the beginning. The same things will be done that have always been done. There is nothing new in this life.
10 Someone might say, “Look, this is new,” but that thing has always been here. It was here before we were.
